The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Su Rou asked, "What's going on? Why did Lord Jiang suddenly capture Sister Qiao?"

Ah Tian shook her head. "I don't know, but...but early this morning they said that Lord Jiang had detained Sister Qiao. Yesterday, Sister Qiao hasn't returned since Lord Jiang took her away."

Su Rou frowned. Could it be that Lord Jiang discovered that it was Sister Qiao who poisoned him?

No way?

She herself deceived Sister Qiao to get the evidence, so where did Lord Jiang get it?

When she went out, she saw the madam and several girls standing downstairs.

Seeing Su Rou get up, they all tried to avoid her.

Su Rou stood upstairs and asked, "What's going on with Sister Qiao?"

The madam said angrily, "This matter has nothing to do with you, young lady. Please go back to your room for now."

Su Rou was stunned. The madam didn't want her to ask too many questions...

Su Rou was a little speechless.

At least let her know about this so she can help.

Ah Tian tugged at her sleeve, "Sister..."

Su Rou lowered her head and met Ah Tian's eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Sister, I'm so scared," A Tian's eyes were red, like a little white rabbit that had just been born and opened its eyes.

"I'm so worried about Sister Qiao."

"Although Lord Jiang says that he likes Sister Qiao, he has never done anything to show his love for her!" Ah Tian said indignantly, his chubby little face full of resentment.

It seems as if Lord Jiang and Ah Tian have some deep hatred.

Su Rou has been here for such a long time, and she can confirm one thing: A Tian's emotions are too obvious.

It's obvious who you like and who you don't like.

Su Rou touched A Tian's head distressedly and comforted her, "A Tian, I will find a way to save Sister Qiao."

If this were said to someone else, it would definitely be a rhetoric to coax a child, but if it was said by Su Rou, then she would definitely be able to do it.

She was also very anxious. If something happened to Sister Qiao, just as she thought at the time, all the girls in Hongluan Tower would be implicated.

What's more, the last time Lord Jiang came, it was obvious that he was a hypocrite.

If she were to take action against Lord Jiang, she would probably get herself into trouble as well.

Su Rou couldn't help but feel a headache, "What should I do now..."

Maybe we can try looking for the guard who was holding her portrait yesterday?

But that might expose her identity...

Just as she was thinking, Su Rou suddenly saw a figure flash by in the corner.

"Who?!" she shouted angrily, her voice echoing in Hongluan Tower.

When I chased after him, the figure had disappeared.

Su Rou frowned slightly. Who was so blind as to eavesdrop around the corner?

What could they possibly eavesdrop on when she spoke to the little kid?

Ah Tian called her again, "Sister, what's wrong? There was no one here just now."

That figure just now wouldn't allow a little kid like Ah Tian to be seen so easily...

Su Rou said, "It's okay, go back to your room first. You haven't washed up yet since you got up this early in the morning. Look at your dirty little feet stepping on the floor."

Su Rou squatted down, and A Tian cooperated by lifting her feet.

A Tian ran back to the room quickly and mischievously, and Su Rou smiled helplessly.

She went to wash her face and when she wanted to find the madam, she saw her standing downstairs as if she was about to go out.

Su Rou followed and called out to the madam, "Do you want to go to the Jiang Mansion to look for Sister Qiao?"

The madam frowned and said, "Hongluanlou will not be open for business today. Please go back."

The madam was about to chase her away, but Su Rou remained motionless. "Take me with you. I can help you with some advice. What's more, I have some connections with the master of the Gong family. If you take me with you, it will also make Master Jiang hesitate."

The madam hesitated for a moment, probably because she really felt that what she said made sense.

"Then you can come up too."

Su Rou obediently took out a veil from her sleeve, put it on herself, and then followed the madam into the carriage.

The madam warned Su Rou along the way, "When we get to the Jiang residence, don't make Master Jiang unhappy again like you did that day."

Su Rou said, "How could I be so ignorant? Did Lord Jiang tell you that? Lord Jiang was obviously petty last time!"

The madam choked. Although she felt that the girl seemed a little bit improper, she always felt that she had an inexplicable self-confidence.

"Girl, how could Lord Jiang be so petty? Stop talking nonsense! When we get there, don't say these things in front of Lord Jiang."

Su Rou nodded obediently.

How sincere was her attitude? But why did this madam seem to not believe her?

The Jiang Mansion is not peaceful today.

Before Su Rou and the madam got off the carriage, they heard Sister Qiao's screams coming from the yard.

"what!"

The madam's expression changed when she heard this. It seemed that she really felt sorry for Sister Qiao.

The madam stretched out her hand and beckoned her to follow her in quickly.

The guards at the gate of Jiang Mansion stopped the two of them.

The madam immediately smiled and said, "My two lords, I am from Hongluan Tower..."

"...Get lost! Lord Jiang has instructed that no one can take Miss Qiao out today."

Seeing their tough attitude, the madam immediately put on a cautious look.

"Um... Gentlemen, since Lord Jiang wants to hit our Qiao Qiao, he should at least give us a reason, right? I don't know why Lord Jiang is dissatisfied with us Qiao Qiao, but at least tell us, so that we can dispel Lord Jiang's anger."

One of the guards snorted coldly, his face full of noncommittal, "Miss Qiao is monopolizing the favor of our Lord Jiang while being involved with other men!"

Su Rou's breathing stagnated. Wait...

So, Lord Jiang discovered what happened between Sister Qiao and that young master?

No.

How did Lord Jiang know this? He's not the legal wife, so why is he so indignant...

The madam wanted to continue playing dumb, "What young master? Could you two gentlemen please go in and tell them so we can talk to Lord Jiang..."

Su Rou smiled secretly in her heart, this was not very realistic.

The two guards still looked superior and said, "Get away from me."

The madam was frustrated and didn't dare to stay here any longer, for fear that she would make them angry at the next moment.

Su Rou was speechless. She reached out and grabbed the madam's wrist, then pulled off a jade bracelet from her wrist.

"My Lords, we are only worried about Sister Qiao. Please bear with us and help us greet Lord Jiang."

Su Rou could understand them. After all, everyone in this world is selfish. Who would be so selfless and impartial in enforcing the law?

The two guards spoke noticeably softer.

"We really can't do anything about this. Who made Miss Qiao admit it herself? She even took out the token of love she had with another man to insult us adults."

She thought Sister Qiao was smart.

Such stupid things can be done...

Now it will not only implicate Hongluan Tower, but also that young master.

The madam grabbed Su Rou's hand and walked aside. "In this matter, can I use your relationship with that master to help you?"

Su Rou answered honestly, "No matter what."

She wasn't lying. Lord Jiang hated her to begin with. If the madam brought up her relationship with Mrs. Meng, Lord Jiang would be furious.

The reason she said this to the madam today was because she wanted her to bring her along...

"Oh, what should we do..." sighed the madam.

Su Rou's eyes rolled, and she came up with an idea. She whispered a few words into the madam's ear.

After hearing this, the madam's expression changed from worry to joy, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The two came to the door again and said to the two guards.

"Please inform the two lords that this matter is of great importance and concerns their reputation."

One of the guards looked at them suspiciously, but went in to pass on the message.

After a while, the guard came out and said, "Master Jiang agrees to see you."

The madam and Su Rou smiled at each other and followed the guards into the gate of the Jiang Mansion.

In the courtyard, besides Sister Qiao, there were more than a dozen burly guards.

Sister Qiao was beaten and fell in the middle of the yard with bruises all over her body.
